"The Tree Hugger and the Lost Paradise"

They called her 
the tree hugger,
her forest was full 
of trees that watched
silently, they had 
no mouth to speak,

strange stories coded
for decoding a mystery
on...

Upon a colossal, metallic beast

Their house burned down three times this week.

Their wedding ring popped off and down a...

Anecdotal ancestors are anxiously arriving.
Bringing Betty’s bugs behind Beauty’s book bag

Deliberately doing dainty delicate dynamics.
Effortlessly engaging exciting English earls.
Furthermore furiously finding frivolous friends.
Generous grandma gestures gaily.
Hoping heavy hitters help Heroic Henry.
Ideally...

Luce had a million ideas
Her mind ran ahead of her all the time
Capturing things others missed
Putting them into the recesses of

Wondering why they are there?

Are the stars there as an...

All my older poems called a meeting
They don't like what they're seeing
As the newer poems are being read they're being left behind

At one time they we're top dogs
Now just another bump on the log
They want...

William Shakespeare ’pon a cloud
Awaits the new arrivals
Heaven needs some poetry
And sea fishing revivals
A blinding light and newbies came
And smiling, wandered in
And at the front the one he sought 
Said Hi, I’m Carolyn

A simple snowshoe expedition
Nothing glamorous or too exciting
But the day started out magnificent
Gloriously sunny and mild
Ideal for newbies and amateurs
It felt like a girl guide outing

Babies galore, I tell my baby,
my youngest,
who’ve met these birthing-cousins.
Bouncing babies born
on the same day.
A boy, a girl - twinsies
and many miles away,
another boy - oh the joy!

My daughter says but
it’s been a sad day,...
